Question about CCM mustang handle bar

Submitted by ccmMus on Mon, 06/04/2018 - 23:46

just got a CCM MUSTANG bike, the problem now is the handlebar is loose, it means it goes forwoard or back when i was riding.

I tight the bolt to max, the problem still exist. The position of handle bar changes due to my force. It is normal? I know these kinds of bikes have special design of handle bar.

it looks the stem is hard to hold handle bar in a tough position from my view, anyone know about that? Do your handle bar change position all the time when you use this bike? Thanks

A fast and simple quick fix is to put a shim in it.

You can put a thin piece of metal in between the gooseneck and the handle bar.

Even a pop can can be used to make the shim.

A '70s way of eliminating the play.

Always best to replace the handlebars and/or gooseneck if one or bot are defective.
